Mechanics illustrations, 1823 C017 / 8068
Mechanics illustrations, 19th century. Across top are three types of lever, with the weights and pivots in different locations. Below these are several systems of pulleys and a weighing balance. Below these, at left, is a wheel and axle, referred to by the archaic term axis in peritrochio. To the right of that are two types of inclined plane (standard and double). Across bottom are three types of screw (screw press, common screw and endless screw), together with a wedge. This page is from Universal Technological Dictionary (1823) by British author George Crabb (1778-1851)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable array of mechanics illustrations from the 19th century. The image, taken from George Crabb's renowned publication "Universal Technological Dictionary" in 1823, offers a glimpse into the historical world of British machinery and technology. The top section features three distinct types of levers, each demonstrating varying weights and pivots. Below them are several systems of pulleys accompanied by a weighing balance, providing insight into the physical principles behind these mechanical devices. On the left side, we find an archaic term for a wheel and axle referred to as "axis in peritrochio" while on the right side there are two types of inclined planes – standard and double. Moving along the bottom row, we encounter three different types of screws: screw press, common screw, and endless screw. Completing this comprehensive illustration is a wedge that adds further depth to our understanding of mechanical systems. Rendered in monochrome tones with intricate detail, this artwork captures not only the technical aspects but also reflects the artistic beauty inherent in scientific diagrams from this era. Preserved by Middle Temple Library/Science Photo Library, this photograph print serves as both an educational resource and a testament to British ingenuity during the 1800s.
